In recent blogs posts, I’ve been discussing the topics of how to leverage App-V for software delivery and management to custom Azure RemoteApp images joined to a hybrid collection. I’ve discussed what is supported and demonstrated a few walk-throughs regarding image setup and targeting. While there are many particular variances for each facet of configuration,…

There are two types of Collections with Azure RemoteApp: A Cloud Collection and a Hybrid Collection. App-V requires that the client must exist on domain-joined machines in order to be supported. Azure RemoteApp Custom Images can be part of a Hybrid RemoteApp collection where the images are joined to the local domain. This now entails…

Last April, we gave a little bit of information on the limited use of App-V applications with Azure RemoteApp (http://blogs.technet.com/b/gladiatormsft/archive/2015/04/29/app-v-on-app-v-applications-hosted-in-azure-remoteapp.aspx.) This piqued the curiosity of many and over the past several months, we have been validating several scenarios involving the integration of App-V with Azure RemoteApp images within hybrid collections. As you might have heard,…

Whether it is integration with XenApp, XenDesktop, PVS, or UPM, App-V 5 is the recommended application virtualization and streaming model for Citrix Session and VDI environments. I work with a lot of customers who leverage App-V in this capacity and they have been asking me to maintain a “living post” that contains links and references…

If you are currently still running MED-V 2.0, be very aware of a known issue. If you install the RDP/RDC 8.1 update for Windows 7 SP1, you may notice after installing the update, you are seeing application crashes of the MED-V Workspace. This update is labeled KB2830477. It was originally released last year and there…

Update 12/6/2014: With the release of App-V 5 Service Pack 3, there is a change that allows the RunVirtual key to be added to the user's profile (HKEY_CURRENT_USER) to affect user-targeted applications. More information on this improvement can be found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn858700.aspx#BKMK_runvirtual_reg_key If you think that title is a handful, it simply a summary of…

If you have been using App-V 5 SP1 with RDS (Remote Desktop Services) or Citrix XenApp servers, you may have noticed that when you installed the App-V 5.0 Service Pack 1 RDS Client using the EXE installer (no extraction) – this creates shortcuts for all 24 language packs on the start menu for Windows Server 2008 R2…

I recently had a customer inquire further as to how the mechanics differ between all of the application modes in MED-V. I would have thought this far into the life cycle of MED-V that I had gone into enough detail on the subject. Turns out, while the article I wrote on TechNet a couple of years…

Ever since the summer (TechEd) I have been promising customers we would have a white paper coming on this. Well, we have just published a new App-V 5.0 and Citrixintegration overview white paper. Whitepaper Title: App-V 5.0 and Citrix Integration overview Abstract: This whitepaper is designed to provide administrators with guidance for combining Microsoft’s…

When many organizations move to Windows 7, they also take on the task of discovering, inventorying, testing, and remediating all of their current applications currently used in production. Often part of that process includes a decision to deliver those applications with App-V. The App-V 4.6 SP1 Sequencer and client offers a streamlined workflow to virtualize,…
